Sister of St. Matrona

9/29/10 - Day 285
Lin & I did a serious hike into the hills above Hydra to St. Matrona monastery. Hot and tired, the Sisters invited us in for some water, candies and a tour of the grounds and chapel (built in 1865). They were happy to have me take their picture, and in this image, one Sister was showing us her handiwork.

Maybe a Clue

Came across this sign today on a hike from Plakes to Episkopi. I have no idea what it says but the barbed wire might be a clue. Or maybe it says "For Sale".

The title says it all. Spent the afternoon on the beach and then at a taverna to watch the sunset.

Walls of Hydra

9/26/10 - Day 282
At the end of a 32 hour day, we're returning from dinner in Hydra. The white painted walls, along with the random streetlights, allow this area near the harbor to be navigable at night. Very quaint with no motorized vehicles on the island.

Also in response to DS #315 regarding fences and walls.
